Ogle Earth has a nice entry on how seamless it is now to take pictures with a digital camera and put it on a webmapping site. From the blog: "[...] that holy grail of Nokia N95 usership: No-fuss uploads of just-taken, automatically geotagged photos to my Flickr account, viewable live by anyone via Google Maps while I'm still in the field taking pictures. [...] Basically, ShoZu is a conduit between all the photos and videos on your phone and the myriad of web services you can post them to. It does this by remembering your userids and passwords for each service, and then publishing the content you select via that service's API. It's free."

Info on Geocoding Photos 3 comments [+]
rakerman writes "I am interested in automated geocoding of photos from GPS track logs, so I have put together a page with all the information I could find: geocoding photos. (I consider geocoding to be embedding the GPS info into the EXIF metadata.) I have also included information on the related topic of geotagging for Flickr and other photo sites."
Sony GPS-CS1 Reviewed [+]
The Map Room links to a exhaustive review of the Sony's GPS-CS1 datalogger with photo geocoding by the Science Library Pad blog (with screenshots). The review's conclusions: "This device does a great job of easily and automatically recording your location, for later use in geocoding photos (or any other application where a GPS track would be useful). You may, however, want to use a different software package to do the actual photo geocoding; the software provided with the unit is incredibly basic."
